    I guess Microsoft’s astroturfing budget for fringe social networks like lemmy can really only afford bottom of the barrel quality huh…

    lol i don’t, check your settings maybe

    This is how to remove them. A significant portion of these ads are not possible to change from userspace and are grayed out. Most people won’t even know how to do it, which begs the question How does the reply “WoRkS fOr Me” is at all relevant to the request I made regarding an explanation why is EA access worse than gamepass.

    ah, there’s the problem. nothing like that where i live so ea undercutting gamepass by 100% seems like they’re the ones dumping

    Uh, if you undercut something by 100% you give it away for free, it is indeed dumping. More relevant, where do you live so I can use a VPN to get free gamepass? If you meant, undercuts GP by 50%, and seeing you’re on sopuly, which is hosted within the EU, in the FTA countries the situation is the same, an overwhelming majority of OEM win11 keys on PCs with NVIDIA graphics are bundled with 1-3 months of free gamepass. Now I’m more curious from which backwater place you originate that the OEMs take the bundles from their customers. Interestingly enough, I’d also like to know where is EA access half of gamepass PC, considering Gamepass includes EA access…

        Ukraine. 130 vs 230 uah, respectively.

        so GP includes EA access

        230 - 130 (EAA) = 100 uah, meaning if anyone is dumping is Microsoft, it’s just behind an insurmountable amount of complicated arithmetic operations.

        Thank you for proving my point.

      jfc, how old are you?

      yes, I meant 50%. I don’t see how saying win 10 doesn’t force gamepass ads is at all relevant to the rest of this discussion. didn’t say ea pass is worse, i said it fits the description better, judging from the pricing alone
